AC adapter caution

• Make sure to grasp the body of the AC adapter
when removing it from the power outlet. If you pull
the power cord, it may become damaged which
could lead to fire and/or electrocution.

• Do not attempt to plug in or remove the AC
adapter with wet hands. This may result in
electrocution.

• Insert the prongs of the AC adapter all the way into
the power outlet. If the connection is incomplete,
heat may be generated which could lead to fire.
Furthermore, contact with the connected prongs
of the adapter may result in electrocution.

• Do not insert the AC adapter into a power outlet
where the connection remains loose despite
inserting the prongs all the way into the outlet.
Heat may be generated which could lead to fire.
Consult with the retailer or an electrician
regarding replacement of the power outlet.

• Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on
the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a
knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The
power cords should be routed such that they are
not likely to be stepped on. A damaged AC adapter
and power cord can cause a fire or give you an
electrical shock. Check the AC adapter and the
power cord once in a while. When you find it
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized
service center or your dealer for a replacement.

POWER-CORD CAUTION

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the
plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power
cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a
short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a
piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the
cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other
cords. The power cords should be routed such that they
are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord
can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check
the power cord once in a while. When you find it
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service
center or your dealer for a replacement.

The batteries included with the unit have been provided to
allow you check product operation and may not last long. We
recommend using alkaline batteries that have a longer life.

CAUTION

• When inserting the batteries, make sure not to damage

the springs on the battery’s  terminals. This can cause

• Do not use any batteries other than the ones specified.
Also, do not use a new battery together with an old one.

• When loading the batteries into the remote control, set
them in the proper direction, as indicated by the polarity
marks ( and ).

• Do not heat batteries, disassemble them, or throw them
into flames or water.

• Batteries may have different voltages, even if they are the
same size and shape. Do not use different types of
batteries together.

• To prevent leakage of battery fluid, remove the batteries
if you do not plan to use the remote control for a long
period of time (1 month or more). If the fluid should leak,
wipe it carefully off the inside of the case, then insert new
batteries. If a battery should leak and the fluid should get
on your skin, flush it off with large quantities of water.

• When disposing of used batteries, please comply with
governmental regulations or environmental public
institution’s rules that apply in your country/area.

• WARNING
Do not use or store batteries in direct sunlight or other
excessively hot place, such as inside a car or near a
